Grief Support for Students and Families

Camp Hands of Hope is a weekend long bereavement camp for youth and their loved ones who have experienced the loss of a loved one in the past three years. This camp is hosted by the Hospice & Palliative Care Foundation. Due to COVID-19, the camp is in an ONLINE ONLY format. The upcoming camp will take place March 5 and 6, 2021, and will involve a mix of independent family activities and live sessions facilitated by clinical bereavement professionals. 

The camp is open to youth ages 5-18 and their caregivers who have experienced the loss of a loved one in the past three years (must have at least one adult attend with the camper). Materials will be mailed in advance, including grief journals, activity supplies, and t-shirts. There is a $20 administrative fee (per family) to help offset the administrative time of processing applications; HOWEVER if that fee is a financial hardship, families can apply for an application fee waiver after their applications have been accepted and confirmed. 

REGISTRATION WILL OPEN TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2nd online at www.camphandsofhope.org. Registration will remain open until spaces are filled. To learn more, see the brochure/flyer.
